This morning we went into Castine by dinghy.
The Schooner Days were starting, and the docks were full. We were told we could tie the dinghy up for two hours, and I think we got one of the last spots.
We walked, with the dogs, up through town, to the Lighthouse. There are a lot of informative signs along the way, telling a lot of the local history.
We walked through the woods near the lighthouse, to an overlook of the cliffs.
Then we continued along the streets through town, cutting through the Maine Maritime Academy campus, before returning to the pier, grabbing an ice cream along the way.
We went back to the MERCY for a little bit, and then went to Indian Bar to let the dogs swim. The water was cold enough that our Florida dogs didn't get wet past their chests! My legs were cold to the touch (below the knees) for 30 minutes after we'd left!
Ellen and I went into town after giving the dogs a bath, and ate supper at a booth on the town pier. The food was really good!
Then we returned to our mooring for a gorgeous evening, watching a couple of harbor seals around the boat.
